Maybe not a success yet, but definitely a journey (pics)
I should preface this with letting you know I am Aussie and as an Aussie we have a tendency to say it how it is without rainbows and butterflies. Recently I reached a year on MFP. I joined with recommendation of a beautiful friend (thanks _mandapanda_ !). A few months prior to joining I hit my highest weight ever 79kg. I…

First day!
Yesterday was my first day and I loved it! I felt strong doing it and felt I did it without a struggle. However, I am feeling I today! I kust wanted to say I am done lurking here and part of the gang. Whoo!

Strenth for women. Help needed
I have been doing weights at the gym for a while but I want to do serious and heavy weights. At the moment I use a combo of machines and free weights. No weights are candy coated but they aren't real heavy. I can leg press up to 73kg, bench press 25kg, squat press 15kg and dead lift 17.5kg for example but I want to go…

New tattoo and exercise
I got my first tattoo yesterday. It sits right underneath my bra strap. Am I okay to go for a run today as long as I shower after? Should I just wear a compression top and forget about a bra? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Help with body fat please
The scales at my gym and my callipers (is that what they are called??) say I am 32% body fat. My scales at home and all the online calculators using measurements say I am 25% body fat. That is a big difference and one that either places me at over weight or average. So what should I rely on?

women and men who eat
Hi there. I am not new but would like to add new friends. I am looking for friends with open diaries who eat more than 1200. I am on 1570 and want inspiration for meals and snacks. I love food and I want to have a healthy relationship with food. I know if I just ate salad or shakes then I would hate it and fall of the…

life style advice
Today my partner told me that he will be moving in during the last week of November. We have had a long distance relationship for a year now and see each other every two to three weeks. I usually have at least one blow out day when he is down but it didn't impact me given how far apart they were. My partner is double my…

My NSW
I faced the facts and went out and bought clothes that fit because my work pants were all so baggy they were looking unprofessional. I went into Target which have the three mirrors so you can view all sides. That change room literally brought me to tears in August which is how I ended up here. I found that instead of…

Older partner
I know how vain this sounds before I say it but I still have to get it off my chest. I feel more pressure to be skinny because my parter and I have an age gap. I don't think people can get their heads around our relatioship unless we fit the cliche appearence of older man with skinny young girlfriend. I know it is a silly…

Fatter on one side?
This is going to be a ditzey question but I will ask it anyway. My body appears to be fatter on one side than the other. I have one love handle almost gone and one with plenty of grip. Is that normal? Is there a way to even out?

Friends wanted
Hi everyone, My name is Eliza and I'm from Australia. I'm new to this and would love it if people would add me to help me get motivated. Excerise for me this year hasn't been a problem but food definately has been. I convince myself if I exercise I can eat whatever I want and of course that doesn't work. My weight has been…
